Parody Written by:

The Lyrics

I've been known for ma-NY dumb things
Hold SCIS-sors when I run
And I SUCK the paint off of all of my toys
Sleep with a load-ed gun

Make OUT with random sailors
OV-erstarch my jeans
Call EV'ryone I meet "Suzanne"
Names don't mean a thing

Now the ON-ly thing I ever read
Is the MAIL you might call junk
I can't COUNT the times I've almost died
By pick-ing fights with drunks

------ organ solo ------

Sometimes I frighten children
Just be-CAUSE I think it's fun
RINSE my teeth with pop that's sugary
Root canals? I can't stop at one

Well, I LIE on all of m'tax forms
The TRUTH is so mundane
I STAND up during movie scenes
To hear you all complain

Oh, I DON'T have up to date vaccines
In TRA-ffic I will run
Th'world's been the home of plenty of mor-ons
And now you know I'm one

Wow, Those are some seriously bad habits you got Arwen, maybe you should have somebody take a look at that, like your psychiatrist. Too true last line, this world is really full of morons, ain't it?

I could give this all ones... but that would be REALLY stupid. Besides... it's you. We've been suffering from a several Arwen deficiency lately.

Matthias...=) Thankfully I only actually have a couple of these habits...you know...the sailor bit...and maybe frightening children...; ) Thanks!

Wendy/Suzanne...glad you liked it!! Thanks a bunch. And, as I've been seeing you all over the place lately, welcome to the site!

Invisible Boy...don't be silly...I'm not allowed to carry sharp objects.

Mister Pacholek...I know, I know, I KNOW. You've missed me. I know. But I've posted FIVE parodies in the past week...that has to be good for something, doesn't it?? I think it's some sort of record....; )

Alvin...hee hee! Hooray! Thanks!

Jeff...I think the paint sucking really explains EVERYTHING...now that you mention it. I gotta cut that out.

Jack...good, thanks! =)

Dee...I was wearing a max...there is no way you could PROVE that it was me. Um...I mean...it wasn't me. Of course it wasn't me. And thanks!

A kind of one-stop shop for bad habits, aren't you, my dear? This was mega-cute (and a little bit frightening) I'd worry about you, Arwen, if I didn't know you so well. 555
Rick C - December 05, 2007 - Report this comment
I heard that paint-sucking can potentially cause klutziness and pouting. Loved this :-) 555

Correction: I've been suffering from a SEVERE Arwen deficiency. It only seems like SEVERAL deficiencies.
Arwen - December 06, 2007 - Report this comment
Well I'm here now, MP...and from the sounds of it, you've been gone a little bit lately, too...so now I don't feel too bad. =)

This is really, really funny!
Matthias - December 14, 2007 - Report this comment
Still loving it!!! Two of your bad habits really had me in tears because they were so hilarious... "Sleep with a load-ed gun", "Call EV'ryone I meet "Suzanne", but really the whole thing was another Arwen masterpeice.

(Dec 2.0) I can only hope that paint-sucking habit wasn't in force during the Mattel lead paint scare! Hilarious work, Arwen!

(Dec 2) In tough competition w/Stu here, just for the sheer breadth and depth of bad habits here.

(dec2.6) wow, even I wouldn't call every random sailor "Suzanne" - that is one of the funniest things I've read all week - what do the sailors call you back then? "Neville"? - lol -oh, and er, I'm gonna have to cancel our date for the movies, Arwen, oh no reason - 555
Kristof Robertson - January 02, 2008 - Report this comment
(DEC 2.6) To be honest, I knew you'd trounce this round even before you submitted. Classic Arwen here.
Phil Alexander - January 02, 2008 - Report this comment
I think, Arwen, that between us we have enough bad habits to clothe a dozen convents... hmm security code "ECT" - do you think it's suggesting a way of changing habits?

(DEC2) I've heard more 60 songs today than I care to count now. . .I think I'm going to wash my ears out with some 90s pop or something tonight to put variety back in my head. That said, this is one of the better House of the Setting Sun parodies I've seen. I particularly love the paint line and how you call the character of the song a moron on the last line.

DEC- I loved this one, Arwen! Very silly stuff and I love silly stuff. Very well done.

It's funny cause it's true. I've know Arwen for years, and she really does all this stuff!
